OUR SEA NEIGHBORS: Timor-Leste, 2023

June 5, 2023: The Headline of the Article speaks for itself: “Some Countries are narrow-minded to see China as a Threat: President of Timor-Leste”

The President of Timor-Leste, Jose-Ramos Horta, recently said in a Forum in Singapore that Countries that see China as a “Threat” are “narrow-minded” and “unconvincing”. No doubt he was referring to the United States (US) and Europe, but now that the Philippines under Junior is Pro-US then unintentionally the Philippines has been included among those Countries. 

He also said that China is a real major Power and a true Friend to Developing Countries. Horta was re-elected in 2022 and is a Nobel Peace Prize Winner. So count Timor-Leste that is among the MAJORITY of Countries in South East Asia (SEA) that are FRIENDLY to China, unlike the Philippines

Afghans in the Philippines

June 17, 2023: Why put those Afghans in the Philippines? Why not Israel or Egypt whom the US gives BILLIONS of Dollars in Military Aid PER YEAR? Why not the richer US Vassal States like Japan, South Korea or Australia? Why not Guam, the entire Island is a US Military Base?

Why are the Americans insisting on putting those Afghans in the Philippines? Why not Israel or Egypt whom the United States (US) gives BILLIONS of Dollars in Military Aid PER YEAR? Why not the other, richer US Vassal States like Japan, South Korea or Australia? Why not Guam, the entire Island is basically a US Military Base? 

Can anybody imagine that, despite giving so much Money to Israel and Egypt, they can’t ask them to host those Afghans? Especially Egypt since they are a predominantly Muslim Country also like Afghanistan. And instead the US wants to dump them in a Country like ours whom they give PEANUTS only in terms compensation? Remember that they are getting their Military Bases for FREE here already.

June 16, 2023: Amboy Babes Romualdez should protect Philippine Interests in US instead of becoming America’s Mascot

The Philippines’ Ambassador to the United States (US) Babes Romualdez, Bong Bong Marcos’ (BBM) Relative on his Mother’s side, doesn’t seem to know what his Job is as “Ambassador”. Somebody should explain to him that his Job there is to PROTECT PHILIPPINE INTERESTS in the US and not be the American’s Mascot. 

No wonder the Americans keep requesting and recommending him to stay as our Ambassador there, because he is so obedient to them. He should just resign as Ambassador and become an American Citizen if he is so loyal to the US than to the Philippines.

Let me quote this from the Article: “Somebody please tell him he is supposed to be our Ambassador to Washington, not the US Embassy’s Spokesman nor that of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. How can the Americans start to respect us when our purported Representative to them, in Ideology and Practice, is theirs not ours.”

PLAN Qi Jiguang (83) Vessel Open Ship Review, June 16, 2023

The Qi Jiguang (83), Photo by the Chinese Embassy Manila

Went to the “Open Ship” Event of the biggest and most modern Training Vessel of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), the Type 680-class “Qi Jiguang (83)” at Pier 15 of the Manila South Harbor recently. 

I arrived there at around 3:00 pm, and initially I thought there wouldn’t be much People making the visit because of all these Sinophobia being made by the Americans and their Filipino A$$ Kissers on Social Media, but to my pleasant surprise, there was actually quite a lot of People around for the Event.

June 11, 2023: Sara D leads latest SWS Survey for the 2028 Presidential Elections

Here is another Survey for the 2028 Presidential Elections, this time from the more established Social Weather Station (SWS) and it shows that Sara Duterte is still at the lead with 28% of the Votes. Raffy Tulfo is next just like in the Tangere Survey released a couple of Weeks back, but in this Survey he is farther behind Sara with only 11% of the Votes. 

Lenidoro Robredo, the Pinklawan’s undying Hope for President is a far third with only 6% of the Votes. The Tambaloslos Balasubas Herrero didn’t even show up in this Survey (which was made in April 2023), maybe in the “Others” at the bottom, and yet he shamelessly thinks he can challenge Sara

May 29, 2023: Anti-China, Pro-US Raffy Tulfo emerges as Sara Duterte’s most serious Contender for the 2028 Presidential Elections

The Tangere Organization recently revealed that Raffy Tulfo emerged as Sara Duterte’s most serious Contender in the 2028 Presidential Elections based on their recent Poll Survey Results. Duterte was selected by 39% of their Pollsters while Tulfo was second at 30%. 

2022 Presidential Candidate Isko Moreno Domagoso was a far third at 9% while two other former Presidential Candidates, Leni Robredo and Grace Poe were just behind Moreno at 8%. Senator Imee Marcos got 2% along with Manny Pacquiao while the Tambaloslos Balasubas Herrero was last after getting only a pathetic 1% of the vote. 

If these results hold up in Surveys by other Poll Organizations, then I expect the United States (US) to start offering support to Tulfo, if they haven’t done so already ...

The Days (2023) Limited Series Review

The Days Poster by Netflix

This Series is a dramatization of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster that happened in Japan in 2011, and I found it to be quite riveting. You know that its a good Series when you don’t want to stop watching it, and for me it is one of the best Series on Netflix right now. 

The Cinematography, Camera Work, Music, etc., all conveyed a constant State of Tension throughout its eight Episodes, and provides a valuable Insight on what really happened during that Disaster, including the Bureaucracy, Cover Ups, etc.

May 25, 2023: After US REJECTS Philippines FTA request, BBM now begging for it from the EU

So after the United States (US) REJECTED Bong Bong Marcos’ (BBM) request for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with them after he had already given them nine Military Bases thru the Enhanced Defense Cooperation for America :D (EDCA), BBM is now begging the European Union (EU) to give him an FTA instead. 

I am not even sure how receptive the EU is in Terms of giving the Philippines an FTA, it seems that all the effort is coming only from the Philippines’ side at this Point. And even if the EU does give us an FTA, it is likely going to include a LOT of Strings attached as the Europeans think that any Deals with them includes the Condition that the Country should be their Puppets as well

April 11, 2023: EU Leaders agree with Macron on more Autonomy from the US, says the President of the European Council

The President of the European Council (the Collegiate Body that defines the overall Political Directions and Priorities of the European Union) Charles Michel that Leaders of the European Union (EU) agree with what French President Emmanuel Macron said about moving away from the United States (US). 

Quoting from the Article itself: “On the issue of the relationship with the United States, it's clear that there can be nuances and sensitivities around the Table of the European Council. Some European leaders wouldn't say things the same way that Emmanuel Macron did ... I think quite a few really think like Emmanuel Macron”
